Remodeling Repeat...with pictures. Week 3

This week we were focused on beefing up the floor framing with lots of LVL's. We had to replace the undersized headers over the 3 sliders across the back of the house. We also started on some actual framing and moved the existing gable out about six feet. IMG_2786

Lower addition almost ready for the "move" What is really interesting here, is that we added a 2 story addition without having to build a full foundation. This structure is actually supported by concrete piers that are dug down below 4 feet.

The existing gable end of the house was moved out about 6 feet and allowed us to retain some of the original structure and save the client some money.

This is a temporary roof covering that will serve as protection while we complete the floor framing.
